I took 3 pregnancy test from three different brands and all three have game back negative. If I were pregnant I would be 6 weeks isn’t that late enough to detect a pregnancy. I am 11 days late on my period.
Very possible.
I took two pregnancy tests the day my period was due and both came back positive.
I then took another the next morning and it was also positive.
(I used the clear blue digital tests with conception indicator)
I then went on a walk in appointment to my doctor that afternoon and they did an in office pregnancy test (urine test)….and it came back NEGATIVE!
I was confused and disappointed because I had already got three positive tests. Of course they gave me the paper work to go get blood work done – and I WAS pregnant.
Now we are 22 weeks along with a baby boy!!
Just goes to show that YES you can definately get a false negative – even the doctors office test was not accurate!
Do you have pregnancy symptoms? Sore breasts? Feeling tired? Feeling sick? etc …for me I started getting pregnancy symptoms before I even missed my period so I knew something was up…hence why I tested the DAY my period was due!
My doctor told me when I got the negative test at their office that it is very common to get a false negative in early pregnancy.
For your best result test with your FIRST pee of the morning! Its packed with the highest level of HCG hormones if you ARE pregnant.
Also make sure you are using a good brand of test – some people get really cheap tests from the dollar store etc and they often seen to not be as accurate. I really recommend the digital tests like I used because they spell out for you "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant" !
If you are NOT pregnant , its probably just stress making you late!
Good Luck
Ordinarily that would be long enough to detect pregnancy, but some women don’t produce very high levels of the hormone, so it may not be long enough for them. I didn’t test positive until I was 10 days late. I recommend you make an appointment for a blood test. The blood tests are very precise. I’ve never heard of a false negative blood test before. Good luck!
I think a pregnancy test should be accurate by now. Perhaps its a good idea to go talk to your dock about AF being so late.
I have heard of people that never show positive on HPT’s
Hi, i took absolutely LOADS of pregnancy tests which were all negative. I did 3 the other day all positive and i’m 6 weeks and 3 days so it took til i was 6 weeks to show up on a test some people must just take longer to get a positive x
Not very often do you get false negatives, but every now and then you will. Some women don’t posses the chemical that is formed when we are pregnant, and the test cannot determine pregnancy. So sometimes you have to get a blood test at the doctor. But 11 days after first missed period is enough time to detect.
I didn’t recieve a positive result on a hpt until I was 8 weeks along! Hope this helps.
